Rejoice, Potterheads—it's officially butterbeer season!
The season, which runs from March 1 to May 31, is the perfect excuse to stock up on all things butterbeer if you can't make it to Hogsmeade Universal Studios to snag the real deal.
The magical trio—Harry, Ron, and Hermione—first got their hands on a warm mug of butterbeer in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban at The Three Broomsticks pub in Hogsmeade. Since that fateful day, witches, wizards, and muggles alike have been clamoring to experience the butterscotch and shortbread-flavored drink. Only those lucky enough to travel to Universal Orlando, Warner Bros. Studio London, or Harry Potter Shop New York can get their hands on the real deal (a bottled version also exists, but it's not quite as magical).
Now, however, a slew of butterbeer-flavored treats are rolling out just in time for the season, and they are sure to cast quite a spell. We're making sure to stock up on all of the tastiest and most bewitching items for the kitchen before time's up. Only a muggle would pass up on these treats.
Goldfish
Delish editors were lucky to be some of the first to get their hands on Goldfish brand's butterbeer-flavored grahams and they were (mostly) a hit around the office. The tiny crackers-turned-cookies are reminiscent of a tasty graham cracker with a strong butterbeer scent and whimsical shapes.
Pocky
From Glico China comes a limited-time offering of Harry Potter Butterbeer Flavor Pocky. Fans of the Chinese dessert stick can pick up a bag or two of the new flavor throughout the season.
Keebler
In keeping with the theme of sweet treats, Keebler is also going gold with its Butterbeer Fudge Strip Cookies. The company notes that you can expect the dessert to "replicate the fluffy textures of cream soda and butterscotch." Sounds promising.
Running Press
If you're looking to stock your home bar, give it a magical twist with Running Press' miniature Butterbeer glass mugs. Someone must have cast a shrinking spell because these little babies are only 3.5-inches tall (perfect for a shot if you ask me) and come with a 48-page guidebook on butterbeer, along with a coaster.
Hershey's
What's better than a kiss? A butterbeer kiss! Hershey's is launching its iconic Kisses in a delicious new butterbeer flavor that will not only put a spring in your step but also make your spring season much tastier.
SkinnyPop
If you plan on pairing butterbeer season with a rewatch of all of the Harry Potter films, you can now grab an even more fitting bag of popcorn to go along with it. SkinnyPop has launched butterbeer-flavored kettle corn, creating a perfect balance between sweet and salty.
I'll definitely be practicing my Accio spell to try and get my hands on each and every one of these exciting treats. However, these aren't the only enticing snacks to beckon in butterbeer season. A Butterbeer Truck will be driving cross country, handing out free beverages and surprising giveaways (tune in to social media to find out if it will be stopping near you). And if you have a trip planned to the Harry Potter Shop, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, or Harry Potter: The Exhibition, you'll find additional freebies and treats until the season ends.
